The 11-year-old black kid who called 911 and was shot by a Mississippi cop is my fear and that of many.black kid

May 26, 2023 By Egberto Willies

Sorry, there was a YouTube error.

An 11-year-old Mississippi black kid was shot by a cop after he called 911 to protect his mother from a former boyfriend. That he followed the police officer’s instructions did not matter.

This 11-year-old black kid was shot by a cop.

Watch Politics Done Right T.V. here.

From several reports on several networks, the former boyfriend of a woman came to the house and was threatening violence. The woman gave her son her cell phone and told him to call 9-1-1. The son called the police, and soon after, an officer showed up, gun drawn.

The police told everyone to leave the house. As the 11-year-old black kid exited with his hands up, the cop immediately shot the kid in the chess. Luckily the bullet did not hit the heart. It broke some ribs, nipped his liver, and collapsed his lungs.

As of this writing, the police have not released the bodycam. The cop who shot the kid has been suspended. Police brutality against people of color continues.

On a personal note, I am a father, a husband, an educated professional, an engineer, a business owner, an author, an activist, a blogger, a videographer, a writer, and a radio/media show host. But in America, I always remember that I am an Afro-Latino Caribbean man, and as such, too; often, the police are a clear and present danger to my life. I never call 9-1-1, and whenever a cop is behind me, my heart is in my throat. Whenever I see a police officer, I gently get out of their presence. I cannot risk accidentally engaging with the bad cop or the good cop who allows the bad cop to exist. That is the life of a self-preserving BIPOC.
